WWOOF- USA accepting Proposals for Future Farmers Grant Program
Deadline: 07-Apr-21
The WWOOF- USA is currently accepting proposals for the Future Farmers Grant Program to create empowering connections between organic food, farming, and people. Access to food, farmland, and resources in the agricultural community is not equal, and centuries of institutional racism, oppression, and the devastating impacts of COVID-19 have shed light on these inequities in American food systems.
